What NSTs Look Like

For those of you who have been curious as to what a NST looks like the mystery ends here! Once arriving in the room, Candy (our awesome nurse who I'm happy to mention again!) places three straps around my belly. I then sit back in the recliner! Candy places a heart rate monitor on each baby (the one on the far left is her and the other on the lower right is him). She also places a contraction monitor on my belly (top right). All I have to do it sit there while the kids are monitored for 20 uninterrupted minutes and push the button (in my hand) any time I feel them move, all the while listening to their little heartbeats! At the end of the 20 minutes Candy comes in checks the sheet (on the left) and sends me on my way! Mom/Grandma was lucky enough to be part of the appointment today!
